Terahertz emission by AlGaAs nanowires grown on a GaAs substrate under excitation by femtosecond optical pulses has been observed. It is demonstrated that THz emission occurs via excitation of photocurrent in the nanowires. The dynamics of photoinduc... Read More about Generation of terahertz radiation by AlGaAs nanowires.

The anti-biofouling properties of thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes grafted with biogenic silver nanoparticles (2015)
Journal Article

Biofouling is still one of the most challenging issues of nanofiltration. One of the practical strategies to reduce biofouling is to develop novel anti-biofouling membranes. Herein, biogenic silver nanoparticles (BioAg0-6) with the averaged diameter...

Assessing the performance of EU nature legislation in protecting target bird species in an era of climate change (2015)
Journal Article
Sanderson, F., Pople, R., Leronymidou, C., Burfield, I., Gregory, R., Willis, S., …Donald, P. (2016). Assessing the performance of EU nature legislation in protecting target bird species in an era of climate change. Conservation Letters, 9(3), 172-180. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12196

International legislation forms a cornerstone of conservation, yet its efficacy is rarely quantified. We assess whether species listed on Annex I of the European Union (EU) Birds Directive, for which EU Member States are obliged to implement special...

Knocking out P_k-free graphs (2015)
Journal Article
Johnson, M., Paulusma, D., & Stewart, A. (2015). Knocking out P_k-free graphs. Discrete Applied Mathematics, 190-191, 100-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dam.2015.04.010

A parallel knock-out scheme for a graph proceeds in rounds in each of which each surviving vertex eliminates one of its surviving neighbours. A graph is KO-reducible if there exists such a scheme that eliminates every vertex in the graph. The Paralle... Read More about Knocking out P_k-free graphs.
